Outstanding. Buy it for your Keds.

I liked everything and hated nothing, except the lack of a heated steering wheel during winter.Had both Cog belts replaced at the Dealer for about 380.00. One might think it's a Cadillac, or someother exspensive car. They just see me comming :)

Perfection! This car has proven to be solid, dependable, and reliable. Other than routine maintenanc

This car has a smooth ride, good traction in the snow, and gets good gas mileage. The interior is roomy and comfortable. It is just the right size for me (I am only 5'1" tall). The car is stylish and has nice looking lines.

This car has been absolutely, 100% without question, hands down amazing!

MAKE THE SPARK PLUGS MORE ACCESSIBLE!!!!!!!! You pretty much have to take out literally almost 20 bolts just to get to these things. Incredibly expensive to have done!
Should the company need someone to take a Hyandai off their hands I would do it in less than a heart beat! Thank you Hyandai for making such an incredible, affordable car! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Excellent fun car

Car is stunning. I would recommend the Sonata to anyone who likes class and a smooth ride. I like my dealership, capital Hyundai in San Jose - man they are 100% customer driven. If I had it my way I would own three of these cars

Very pleased, would buy this brand and model again.

Fell in love with this car the moment I saw and test-drove it. Nice design, great features inside and out. Can't think of anything I'm unhappy with in this car.
